Effect of Benson Relaxation and Aromatherapy on Blood Glucose Levels in Patients With Type II Diabetes Mellitus
- Bagikan:
Introduction: Diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia can cause long term damages and malfunction of different
organ and systems, especially the eye, kidney, nerve and cardiovascular systems. The main problem in Diabetes
Mellitus patients is a difficulty in regulating blood glucose levels. Various attempts were made to reduce blood sugar
levels so that patients can be free from insulin. Exercise and diet are the primary therapies in DM patients, but apart
from that, relaxation techniques can help patients reduce stress and anxiety levels, which will ultimately have a
good effect on lowering glucose levels in the blood. Benson relaxation techniques modified with aromatherapy are
expected to provide a relaxing effect so that this condition can have a better impact on reducing blood glucose. The
present study aims to look at the effect of Benson relaxation exercises and aromatherapy on blood glucose levels.
Methods: The researchers intervened in two groups of respondents. The intervention group conducted Benson relaxation exercises and aromatherapy while the control group only conducted Benson relaxation. Results: Differences in
the average blood glucose levels before and after exercise in the intervention group and in the control group has been
observed. Relaxation conditions will provide a good impact for DM patients because at the time of relaxation stress
hormones that trigger an increase in blood glucose levels, will not be released by the body. Conclusion: Present
study shows that Benson relaxation exercise and aromatherapy is effective for lowering glucose levels.
